    McDonalds threatened to replace their employees with machines, and when they tried it cost them millions…

    “15 an hour? Meet your replacement!” was nothing but a scare tactic, if machines were viable they’d already be in use.

      I imagine they will finally succeed in having robots running the operations, but there will be a warehouse full of underpaid wage slaves controlling the robots from somewhere in India

        They already have robots taking orders and payments, I think the last thing that will be automated in Maccas will be burger assembly
